I’ve been watching more than a little bit of TV lately, and getting less sleep. which make me about as nutty as John Leguizamo’s character on ER. I just wanted to bitch about the state of MTV.
Date My Mom: is this show supposed to be this cheesy? it’s horrible, and I mean that as a compliment because it’s excruciating to watch. It’s painfully obvious everyone is spouting corny scripted dialogue, written probably by the makers of Orbit Gum commercials or a displaced staffer from the Jerry Springer show. And why does everyone have to dance, cut a flip, or act a fool in their intro section?
Your Momma: At it’s worst, this show creates an enviroment where it’s cool to hurl barbs about racial stereotypes, from the episode I saw with the Brotha vs. The Asian Guy. At it’s best, I’ve heard them all before and it’s not that funny, lacking so much that they have insert a segment stolen borrowed from Room Raiders (another seemingly scripted show). and wouldn’t Wilmer be the first one to catch a beatdown talking about someone’s Momma?
honorable mention: That Sweet 16 show. It just makes me even more cynicaler. yeah, that’s right. cynicaler.
and is it me or is BET’s Programming getting better?
back to hibernation.
